service station massages

here’s a new invention i’m not that keen on. it’s a massage chair, available for public use in service stations. you pay £1 and get jiggled for 10 minutes.
all it does is shake you around and make your money fall out your pockets and down the back of the cushion.
and, honestly, who would strip off and sit in one of these chairs in the lobby of a service station.
(with the exclusion of saturday night british beer heads)

a village show

there was a village show today and i entered a few photos in the arts and craft section

i won one first prize which i was very pleased with. the category was ‘through an arch”

this being a classic british village fete there were people dressed in funny clothes and people in funny hats and umbrellas in the sun::

and flower arrangements which fell down:

and vegetables which won prizes then got eaten by a caterpillar:

(the caterpillar was still around)

and where there are jars of home preserve and runner beans as far as the eye can see:

and where people check the winning items very closely:

it was also a place where everyone was really friendly and seemed to be having a brilliant time !

it’s a comedy mirror in an optical illusion museum (which may not have actually existed)

inviting nightclub

my nightclubbing days are well behind me, but i was intrigued by what the inside of this place would be like. it’s looks rather domestic from the outside !

outside sofa

how often do you walk down the street and see someone’s telly is on and wish you could stop for a while and watch it ?
or perhaps you look through their window and think ‘their life looks interesting, i wish i could hang around for a bit and see what happens next ?’
well, these people are happy for you to do either of the above as they’ve conveniently put a leather sofa in their front garden.
